rabbit fingers Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Got the swaro myself, it's used pretty much every week for long range varminting. Personally not had a problem getting reliable readings with the large circle even out to silly ranges just put the 'rangee' in the centre of the ring , I prefer it to the leica aim mark as you don't lose it on a bright day and it doesn't disappear when you press the button to range something. Another plus is the little bit of extra magnification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJR Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Gunnery, I have the Swarovski range finder and find it excellent. I've used Ziess and Lieca ones also and to my mind they all perform well. Mine works well and you can swap it between yds and meters and it ranges to distances far beyond my capability. I would have another without hesitation and I use them alongside A pair of Ziess bgat binos. For me the only thing i'd do different would be to buy a set of bino's with a rangefinder built - probably Lieca ones. If you want to try before you buy you're welcome to try mine.

Snowz Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Where abouts in the country are you, is there no one near you who has a pair you can have a proper look through The leica 1600 are a newer model to the previous 1200 I think and aren't they HD lenses aswell, whatever difference that makes. If your stuck your more than welcome to try mine or if you pay insured postage I'll send you mine to try Atb Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
